  • I submitted a response but if i may give some feedback, the second portion brings up:

    I am willing to pay a substantial amount for hardware required for self-hosting.

    This seemed out of place because there were no other value related questions (iirc). Such as:

    • I believe self hosting saves me money in the short term
    • i believe self hosting saves me money in the long run

    I’m sure you could also think of more. But i think it’s pretty important because between cloud service providers and any non-free apps you want to use, it can be quite costly compared to the cost of some hardware and time it takes to set things up.

    The rest of my responses don’t change but if you’re wanting to understand the impact of money in all of this, i think some more questions are needed

    Best of luck!




  • Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

    Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

    • tandoor recipes
    • navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn’t the typical media server recommendation)
    • personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
    • umami analytics
    • Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
    • a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven’t open sourced yet
